Title: My Commando Operations: The Memoirs of Hitler's Most Daring Commando (Schiffer Military History) by Otto Skorzeny, David Johnston ISBN: 0-88740-718-8 Publisher: Schiffer Publishing Pub. Date: 01 January, 1995 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $35.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.33 (3 reviews)
Rating: 4
Summary: Reality is stranger than fiction.
Comment: Skorzeny lays down the way proffesional soldiers felt after the defeat of their country in WW II. This book follows his rise from artillery officer to top leader of the Commando service, and tells many of the secrets to their success. He talks about the intelligence war and the failures of German strategic intelligence, as well as many of the successes of the allied effort. While the translation is less than perfect, it gives the feel of sitting down and talking with Skorzeny as he reviews the dark years of the war and the atrocities commited by both sides. A story of undaunted courage and limitless valor, a must read for any serious student of WW II or military intelligence.
Rating: 5
Summary: Equal to Lawrence's "Seven Pillars of Wisdom"
Comment: Skorzeny lay's it out the way it happened with no excuses. He examines in detail how his personality and character shaped the conception and formation of German special forces. Furthermore, Skorzeny, again with no apology, discusses the German/Nazi mindset during that period. This book is a valuable asset to any serious-minded military officer's library, and likewise to the more realistic (and less idealistic) student of history.
Rating: 4
Summary: Otto Skorzeny himself says: Live dangerous!
Comment: Otto Skorzeny's memoir is full of realities. It brings a new
view at the WWII German soldier. Some of them were not
killer Nazis at all. Skorzeny was a professional soldier,
dedicated to his country and people.
The book is quite estonishing and so real. Every one can
get a lesson out of it. Lessons from the thin line between
death and life by someone who has been in the no mans land
and survived with the brains.
The book is very good and a must read for young people to
get an idea of being real professional.
